Description
|
|
|
|
Increasingly, if belatedly, Herman Melville is gaining in reputation as a poet and is, to some critics, right behind Whitman and Dickinson among the great poets of 19th-century America; one reason is the publication of this book in 1970, Robert Penn Warren's judicious and eloquent critical collection of Melville's verse. It includes the best of Melville's Civil War poems from Battle-Pieces; the portraits of sailors from John Marr; and the autumnal lyrics from Timoleon, as well as poems uncollected during Melville's lifetime. Here too are several self-contained passages from Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
